Christiana Abiodun Akinsowon
Co-figure of the Cherubim & Seraphim movement's founding; her June 1925 encounter with Moses Orimolade Tunolase began the fellowship from which the movement grew.
Christiana Abiodun Akinsowon stands at the founding of the Cherubim & Seraphim movement alongside Moses Orimolade Tunolase.
In the church's account
The church's published history records that in June 1925, in Lagos, came the encounter between Orimolade and Abiodun from which a prayer and revival fellowship grew, led by the two of them [1]. The movement itself was founded on 9 September 1925 [1].
After the division of 1929, the account records that the movement split into two groups, one led by Orimolade and the other led by Abiodun [1].
A fuller story to come
The church's current published account says little more about her life, and this encyclopedia does not add what it cannot source. Her fuller story, including her years of leadership after 1929, belongs high on the heritage programme's list, and sourced contributions are invited through the update workflow.
